Galaxy NGC 6744 in Pavo

Geeday all,

Here's an image I did at the beginning of September. It is the galaxy NGC 6744 in Pavo. This is a 55-minute exposure (11 x 5min) @ ISO400. It's spiral arms are very faint and is going to need much more exposure time. You can also see the neighbouring galaxy NGC6744A at lower left as a faint smudge.

Cheers
